Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to magnetic field control methods and apparatus and more specifically to methods and apparatus for achieving a homogeneous magnetic field. Homogeneous magnetic fields are extremely useful, for example, in attaining high resolution in the gyromagnetic art.
  • the present invention involves a novel method and apparatus for varying magnetic fields and may be readily comprehended if explained, for example, as applied to gyromagnetic resonance use.
  • Gyromagnetic resonance is explained in detail in United States Reissue Patent No. 23,950entitled Method and Means for Chemical Analysis by Nuclear Inductions issued to Felix Bloch and William Hansen; Nuclear Induction by Felix Bloch in Physical Review, vol. 70, page 460 and also an article entitled The Nuclear Induction Experiment, written by Bloch, Hansen and Packard appearing in Physical Review, vol. 70, page 474.
  • a gyromagnetic resonance analysis comprises the placing of a sample of matter to be investigated within an extremely strong and uniform unidirectional magnetic field. To the sample and at right angles to the polarizing field is applied a radio frequency magnetic field. At precisely the correct combination of these two fields the nuclei of the sample experience a gyromagnetic resonance and emit an electromagnetic signal which is detected and displayed.
  • One feature of the present invention is the provision of a current carrying conductor positioned such that magnetic fields emanating from said conductor effectively cancel undesirable magnetic field intensity gradients ex isting within a certain volume of field.
  • Another feature of the present invention is the provision of novel electrical coil apparatus comprising one or more pairs of coils connected and positioned such that the magnetic fields from a pair of said coils are mutually opposing, the coils being positioned relative to a certain volume of magnetic field such that undesirable field intensity gradients within said certain volume are expeditiously nullified.
  • Another feature of the present invention is the provision of novel electrical coil apparatus in conjunction with "ice gyromagnetic resonance systems such that by positioning said electrical coil apparatus in certain space relationships relative to the sample under investigation undesirable field gradients may be substantially eliminated thereby greatly enhancing signal resolution.
  • Another feature of the present novel invention is the adaption of existing electrical coils used in gyromagnetic analysis systems to serve as field corrective coils for substantially decreasing field intensity gradients within the sample volume and greatly improving signal resolution.
  • Fig. l is a block diagram of a high resolution gyrty magnetic resonance spectroscopy system in which the present invention may be utilized to greatly increase the signal resolution thereof,
  • Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing a sample of matter positioned in a strong polarizing magnetic field
  • Fig. 3 shows a high resolution trace of a signal obtained from a sample of ethyl alcohol exposed to a small magnetic field inhomogeneity
  • Fig. 4 shows a high resolution trace of a signal obtained from a sample of ethyl alcohol within a corrected field
  • Fig. 5 is a graph of field magnitude vs. distance
  • Fig. 6 is an isometric view of the probe structure showing a field corrective coil mounted thereon
  • Fig. 7 is a circuit diagram of a novel embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view of the novel flat coil circuit
  • Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram depicting a novel spacial quadrature coil arrangement of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown in block dia gram form a gyromagnetic resonance system suitable for high resolution spectroscopy.
  • the sample 1 to be analyzed is normally placed within or passes through a cavity 1' (see also Fig. 6) provided in a probe 2 of the general type disclosed in application Serial No. 366,156, filed July 6, 1953, which has a receiver or detector coil 3 surrounding the sample, a transmitter coil 4 at right anglesto coil 3, a pair of field sweep coils 5 at right angles to both coils 3 and 4.
  • the probe is positioned in a polarizing magnetic field of about 7000 gauss produced by a strong electromagnet represented by pole pieces 7 on opposite sides of the probe.
  • a transmitter 8 which includes a fixed frequency and highly stable oscillator, and an amplifier provides a suitable source of radio frequency energy to the transmitter coil 4.
  • the transmitter coil 4 produces an alternating magnetic field which is perpendicular to the polarizing magnetic field to thereby cause the nuclei of the sample to precess at the particular operating frequency.
  • a sweep generator 9 supplies a low frequency voltage to field sweep coils 5 which slightly modulate the polarizing field to repeatedly sweep through the region of gyromagnetic resonance of the nuclei involved in the sample.
  • the field sweeping voltage is also fed to the horizontal deflection plates of an oscilloscope 11 to synchronize the oscilloscope with the modulated polarizing field.
  • the alternating field produced by the precessing nuclei induces a signal voltage in the receiver coil 3 which is transmitted to the preamplifier 12, then to radio frequency amplifier stage 13, and then to a detector circuit 14 where the high frequency signal is demodulated to give an envelope signal. This signal is transmitted to a D. C.
  • a graphic recorder 16 is also shown provided to give a permanent recording in graphic form of the amplitude of'the induced energy in the receiver coil 3.
  • Three arbitrary points of interest A, B and C are selected within the sample volume.
  • a magnetic permeability discontinuity is arbitrarily placed at point P.
  • the fiux lines take the paths as shown in Fig. 2. Since the field intensity Hat any given point within a field is equal to the number of field lines passing through a given area perpendicular to the direction of the flux lines we can see that the scalar magnitude of field intensity in the NS direction, i. e., from pole piece N to pole piece S, at points A, B and C can be represented by the length of vectors H H and H as shown in Fig. 5. The slope of a line connecting the tops of these vectors would represent the NS field intensity gradient existing within the sample. For the sake of clearness the intensity gradient has beengreatly magnified.
  • Fig. 4 shows the signal obtained from the same sample in a field possesing the necessary homogeneity.
  • pairs of novel field corrective coils 6 are provided which are supplied with direct electrical current from a battery 22. The amount of current is controllable by a variable resistance 23.
  • the coils are wound such that the magnetic field created by each coil is oppositely directed but this condition is not required.
  • a single coil is useful if changes in the average field intensity over the sample may be tolerated or if it is carefully positioned not to change the average field intensity over the sample.
  • Coils wound to produce oppositely directed fields are known in the art as bucking coils.
  • the corrective coils may be positioned in space relation to thecenter of the sample-such that their axial fields cancel at the center point but this is not required, in fact,
  • Fig. 5 there is depicted a NS H gradient. Subtracting from the polarizing field H on the high side and-adding to the field intensity on the weak side of centerpoint C is the corrective field H such that the gradient is eliminated. The sample now sees a homogeneous field and the nuclei produce a signal of greatly enhanced resolution as seen in Fig. 4.
  • FIG. 7 A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 7 wherein the field sweep coils 5 have been centertapped at point Y, the centertap forming a terminal for a direct current circuit connected thereto.
  • the direct current circuit comprises a direct current source, battery 22, and variable resistor 23 for controlling the amount of direct current in the circuit.
  • the purpose of the direct current circuit is to provide a direct component of current through both halves of the sweep coil thereby utilizing the existing sweep coil as a pair of bucking field corrective coils-while at the same time not interfering with the sweep function of the coil.
  • the direct current circuit must not divert appreciable alternating sweep current.
  • the direct current circuit is isolated from the alternating current by resistors 24 and 25 of such a value, for example, 330 ohms, that to the very low frequency alternating current, for example, 0.1 C. P.
  • the relatively low impedance path through the sweep coils looks as a shunt compared to the alternative of transversing the direct current branch through resistors 24 and 2 5, battery 22 and variable resistor 23. It can readily be seen that many different forms of the direct current circuit could be envisioned; however, the essential feature of such a circuit is the application of a direct current through portions of the sweep coil to produce bucking magnetic fields in the region of field to be corrected.
  • a field will be created having components at right angles to the primary axial corrective component.
  • a rectangular corrective coil is used, it can be seen then that such a coil will produce, in the sample region, fields at right angles to the four sides of the coil rectangle-as well as the primary component in axial alignment with the coil.
  • the rectangular coil is elongated such that the ends of the coil are disposedremote from the sample region (Fig. 8), thereby forming a long narrow coil of fiat cross section, the aforementioned right angle fields in the sample region due to the ends of the coil will be substantially eliminated.
  • this embodiment achieves a more precise control over corrective fields applied to the sample region.
  • a most homogeneous section of the magnetic field is selected. (oftentimes it will be found that one area of the pole pieces is more uniform.)
  • the probe structure containing the sample is then positioned in the selected region of the polarizing magnetic field whereon the system is put into operation and an observable signal obtained upon the oscilloscope, graphic recorder, etc. While observing the signal for resolution the variable resistor controlling the field corrective current is tuned for maximum resolution. If more than one pair of field corrective coils isemployed, several adjustments of the various field corrective currents may be necessary to attain maximum resolution.
